ONE-POT CHERMOULA SHRIMP AND ORZO
Traditionally used to season seafood and vegetables, chermoula is a Moroccan marinade made of herbs and spices like cilantro, parsley, paprika and cumin. In this one-pot recipe, the orzo cooks in a combination of chermoula and stock, so the orzo is seasoned all the way through. In the last few minutes of cooking, just stir the shrimp into the orzo to cook, and you have a quick and easy, yet exciting, dinner. Feel free to use a protein of your choice instead of shrimp, but adjust cook times accordingly. Also, consider making a big batch of chermoula and keep it in the fridge to use as a marinade, a dressing on salads or a condiment for sandwiches.

Steps:
- Make the chermoula: Finely grate the zest from both lemons and set aside for serving, then, into a medium bowl, squeeze 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Stir in the cilantro, parsley, olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt and sugar and set aside until ready to use. (You can keep the chermoula in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.)
- Prepare the orzo and shrimp: Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium-high until the butter is melted. Add the orzo and keep stirring until the orzo is lightly golden, about 3 minutes.
- Add in the chermoula and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until orzo starts to soften, about 10 minutes. If it looks like the orzo is too dry, add a couple of tablespoons of water to the pan.
- Stir in the shrimp and cover the pot again until the shrimp and the orzo are both cooked through and most of the liquid has evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary.
- Serve immediately, topped with the grated lemon zest.
PHYLLO SHRIMP WITH DIPPING SAUCES
I created this appetizer when I had some leftover phyllo dough in the freezer. It's perfect for a party because it looks elegant but is easy to make. I serve the shrimp with two sauces, so guests can decide if they're in a sweet or spicy mood. -Sonali Ruder, New York, New York

Tips:

- Do not overcook the shrimp: They should be cooked just until they turn opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the phyllo dough: This will help prevent the dough from tearing.
- Brush the phyllo dough with melted butter before baking: This will help the dough to brown and crisp.
- Serve the shrimp phyllo purses immediately with the tomato chermoula sauce: The sauce is best when served fresh.
